Dear Susan, My deepest condolence to you on the loss of your mother. It is difficult to lose someone we love and care for. I also lost my mother on August 24, not yet two months ago. We no longer have them with us, but we can treasure them in our hearts with fond memories. I would like to share with you a poem that a friend forwarded to me during my time of grief. It has a comforting message. It's pretty long, so here's the link: http://www.christopherlong.co.uk/pub/death.holland.html
Susan, I am so sorry to learn about the passing of your mother. Your posting is beautiful and quite moving. John and I send our sympathy to you and your family.
I'm not sure you are ever prepared for the loss of your mother ... in reading your blog, for some time now, I always love reading the small snipets of detail about your mother ... such a supportive person in your life. I'm so sorry for your loss.

My visual journal is inspired by what I see every day: the weather on my hill in northern Vermont, what’s growing in my garden, a curio brought back from travels or an ordinary object from the kitchen shelf made special by careful looking. "Journal" paintings are fast, improvised daily entries, a chance to experiment with new approaches and pay attention to the here-and-now. When I’m traveling, quickly recorded impressions are posted from Paris, Provence, Spain, Maine and anywhere else I’ll find myself this year. My large studio compositions take time, planning, refining of the original inspiration. I'll also be sharing that different kind of creative process with you here on "A Painter's Year".

Thank you so much, everyone, for your kind thoughts.
Heartfelt sympathy for your loss! There is so little that can be said at a time like this, but your painting speaks volumes.
My deepest sympathies on your loss. I'm sure your mother was proud of you, her talented daughter.
